While our 11 month dog (border collie and husky mix) was playing with our bed pillow (one of his favourite stuffs to chew) my wife pulled the pillow from his mouth and got a bite on her left upper arm. Our dog never bites (which we trained him since day 1) so it was accidental bite while he was wrestling not to release the pillow.

The bite resulted a little bleeding locally (may be less than a drop or so) on my wife's arm. Even though our dog has been vaccinated for Rabies and others as listed below, is there any health concern from this biting ?

We're not doctors here for the most part, but I've been bitten accidentally a few times and never worried about rabies from a vaccinated dog. Bacterial infection of the wound is always a possibility, however, especially if the puncture was deep. A doctor would be able to set your mind at ease about the seriousness of the bite.

When we were fostering a coupleof the dogs got into a fight. Hubby separated them and ended up with quite a bite on his hand. We phoned the Dr.'s Office and the first thing they asked was did we know the dogs, were they vaccinated. Of course the answer was yes, they then advised us to clean the wound and watch for infection. Nothing ever came of it. So I think you will be O.K. but definately keep an eye on it.
